Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/664,433, filed Mar. 23, 2005 and U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/664,814, filed Mar. 24, 2005, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally pertains to an aluminum starch octenylsuccinate derivative of small-granule wheat starch, and cosmetic formulations including the aluminum starch octenylsuccinate derivative of small-granule wheat starch.

BACKGROUND

Starch is the predominant carbohydrate component of most cereals, legumes, tubers and root crops. It is deposited in plants as tiny, partially crystalline granules. The sizes, shapes, amylose contents and gelatinization temperatures of starch granules are affected by the botanical source of starch. In wheat, two distinct classes of granules differing in size and shape have been reported by Seib, P.S. Wheat Starch: Isolation, Structure, and Properties. Oyo Toshitsu Kagaku 41: 49-69 (1994) and Cornell, H.J. and Hoveling, A.W. Wheat Chemistry and Utilization. Technomic Publishing, Lancaster, Pa. (1998). The two classes are small (˜5 μm), spherical granules and large (˜20 μm), disk-shaped granules.
Personal care products usually contain starch in the form of aluminum starch octenylsuccinate (ASO), which is the aluminum salt of the reaction product of 1-octenylsuccinic anhydride with starch; see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,613,206 and 2,661,349. ASO is not an ocular irritant and does not produce abnormal skin reactions in guinea pigs and rabbits (Anonymous “Final report on the safety assessment of aluminum starch octenyl succinate”, Int. J. Toxicol. 21: 1-7. (2003)). It is nontoxic to rats by inhalation, and clinical facial sting, chamber scarification, and closed patched studies indicated little irritation potential when ASO was tested up to 3% in cosmetic formulations. ASO is used in cosmetic products up to 30% as an anti-caking agent and as a nonaqueous thickening agent. Guth et al. “Polymeric approaches to skin protection”, Cosmet. Toiletries 106: 71-74 (1991) described the performance of aluminum starch octenylsuccinate as an aesthetics control agent in creams and lotions, where it may be used to mitigate the greasiness and drag often associated with products containing high levels of occlusive agents or organic-based UV absorbers. ASO has been reported to enhance the sun protection factor of sunscreen formulations. For example, the sun protection factor value of titanium dioxide in a formulation can be enhanced by as much as 40% upon addition of as little as 5% aluminum starch octenylsuccinate.
Commercially-available wheat starches contain both small (˜5 μm), spherical granules and large (˜20 μm), disk-shaped granules. When wheat starch is used in personal care products, the non-uniform size and morphology within the granular mixture can impact the properties and performance of the final product. For example, products made from wheat starch having a normal distribution of size and shape may not spread easily, may not provide a smooth finish and/or may not effectively absorb oil.

SUMMARY

The present instrumentalities advance the art and overcome the problems that are outlined above.
In one aspect, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate (ASO) has a distribution of starch granules with a mean diameter of between 4.5 μm and 8.9 μm. The personal care products including the small-granule ASO may be selected from the group consisting of conditioning shampoo, damaged hair shampoo, hand cream, sunscreen lotion, liquid talc, a soap bar, lipstick, liquid make-up, and a mud mask.
In one aspect a small-granule starch composition includes a plurality of starch granules having a size distribution with a mean diameter between 4.5 μm and 8.9 μm, the starch granules modified by reaction with 1-octenylsuccinic anhydride and an aluminum salt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present instrumentalities overcome the above described deficiencies and provide an aluminum starch octenylsuccinate derivative from wheat with a small average particle size. The small-granule ASO derivative has a smooth feel, good slip, and high oil absorption capacity. In one embodiment, cosmetic products may be formulated to contain from 0.1-15% small-granule ASO wheat starch.
The following examples set forth the preparation of the aluminum starch octenylsuccinate derivative of small-granule wheat starch and the formulation of this starch derivative in several cosmetic products. It is to be understood, however, that these examples are provided by way of illustration, and not by limitation, to illustrate preferred embodiments of what is claimed.

EXAMPLE 1

Preparation and Characterization of Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate Derivative of Small-Granule Wheat Starch

Starch Modification. Commercially available small-granule wheat starch (brand name Puramyl SP) was purchased from Latenstein BV (Netherlands). The starch was dispersed in water and modified with 1-octenylsuccinic anhydride and aluminum sulfate according to the provisions of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (Title 21 CFR §172.892) for Food Starch-Modified.

Starch Characterization. Granule size distribution was determined using a Coulter MultiSizer II (Beckman Coulter, Inc., Miami, Fla.). Using number statistics, the small-granule wheat starch (Puramyl SP) shows a mean diameter of 4.5 μm. By volume statistics, the mean diameter is 8.9 μm. In contrast, normal wheat starch (brand name Midsol 50 from MGP Ingredients, Inc., Atchison, Kans.) has a mean diameter of 10.6 and 18.1 μm by number statistics and volume statistics, respectively.

Starch Samples	Number Statistics	Volume Statistics

Small-Granule	4.5 μm	8.9 μm
Wheat Starch
Normal-Granule	10.6 μm	18.1 μm
Wheat Starch

Surface topography of starch granules was determined using a scanning electron microscope. Samples were gold coated with a Hummer Sputter Coating System and imaged with a Hitachi 3000N Scanning Electron Microscope. A comparison of the appearance of small-granule and normal-granule wheat starch is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively. A predominance of small, spherical granules is evident in FIG. 1, whereas both the large, disk-shaped and small, spherical granules appear in FIG. 2. After modification of small-granule wheat starch, the aluminum starch octenylsuccinate derivative (brand name Skin Flow Ultra) exhibits the typical size and shape shown in FIG. 3. Similarly, modification of normal-granule wheat starch to yield the aluminum starch octenylsuccinate derivative (brand name Skin Flow) shows the typical size and shape shown in FIG. 4. Oil absorption capacity was determined by following the procedure in ASTM D 281-95. The oil absorption capacity of the aluminum starch octenylsuccinate derivative of small-granule wheat starch is 0.45 gram oil per gram of the small-granule wheat ASO versus 0.41 gram oil per gram of the normal-granule wheat ASO. Water repellency was evaluated by adding 5 grams of starch sample to 75 ml of water in a graduated flask, gently mixing by inverting the flask ten times, and allowing the mixture to sit undisturbed for 1 hour. The mixture was mixed a second time by inverting the flask ten times and then allowed to sit undisturbed for 15 minutes. Water repellency after 15 minutes was determined by measuring the volume of sedimented starch in the flask. The water repellency of the ASO derivative of small-granule wheat starch was <0.1 ml, whereas the water repellency of normal-granule wheat ASO was 7 ml. When applied to the skin, the ASO derivative of small-granule wheat starch appears to have a smoother, more velvety feel than the ASO derivative of normal-granule wheat starch.
